Introduction:

During the past decade, paradigms and benefits from neuro fuzzy
systems (NF) have been growing tremendously. Today, not only does NF solve
scientific problems, but its applications are also appearing in our
daily lives.

In order to discuss the state of the art in NF and the future of these
exciting topics; we are honored to invite you to Neuro-Fuzzy 2002. We
believe it will be an excellent opportunity to share our knowledge on NF
and contribute to its development in the next century.

This major international conference will be held in a very enjoyable
location: Havana, the Capital of Cuba, where we hope you will experience the
famous Cuban hospitality.

organizer will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited
papers register to the conference.


POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Poster presentations are encouraged for people who wish to

 GLiP-3

 GENERATIVE LINGUISTICS IN POLAND 3

 (Morpho)phonological meeting


DATES: 7-8 April, 2001
LOCATION: Warszawa (Warsaw)

Sponsored by the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw


INVITED SPEAKERS:
- --------------

Jerzy RUBACH University of Warsaw / University of Iowa
Grazyna ROWICKA (tbc) HIL / Leiden University



 1st Call for Papers
 -------------------

The primary aim of GLiP meetings is to bring together (i) Polish
generative linguists, (ii) generative linguists working in Poland, as
well as (iii) generative linguists working on Polish.

We invite abstracts on any aspect of generative phonology and
morphophonology in any generative approach (Government Phonology,
Lexical Phonology, Optimality Theory). Talks will be organized around
major phonological topics, depending on the content of the
submissions.

The format of the conference is 20 min for presentation + 10 min
question time. Languages of the conference are English and Polish.

GLiP-3 is the first meeting in this conference series devoted to
phonology and morphophonology, the previous meetings being primarily
syntactic in nature. GLiP-3 marks the beginning of what we intend to
become a rule: (morpho)syntactic meetings in the autumn and
(morpho)phonological meetings in the spring.

The GLiP-1 meeting, which took place in November 1999 in Warsaw,
resulted in a volume of proceedings -- see
<http://www.ipipan.waw.pl/mmgroup/GLiP-1/glip1proc.html>;. We are also
planning to publish proceedings of GLiP-2 (which will be held on 9-10
December 2000) and GLiP-3.

 - Student: 40 PLN



DATES:
- ---

 - DEADLINE for receipt of abstracts: 11 February 2001
 - Notification of acceptance: 5 March 2001
 - Meeting: 7-8 April 2001



ABSTRACTS:
- -------

Should be *anonymous* (i.e., they should contain no personal data or
explicit self-references) and consist of up to 700 words, together
with examples and references.

Because abstract forwarding to referees will be done by e-mail
exclusively, the following are the possible formats of attachments, in
*descending* order of preference:

 (Plain Text) > Postscript > PDF > (La)TeX > Word for Windows '97

In cases when there is no need to use special phonetic symbols or
phonological representations/rules, we strongly encourage PLAIN TEXT
submissions.

We regret to say that other formats will not be accepted.

Should the electronic version of the abstract need special phonetic
fonts apart from the SIL IPA fonts (http://www.sil.org/), please
attach them as well. (We strongly discourage this practice though,
and reserve the right to ask for a resubmission in a different
format.)

Those who submit abstracts in (*self-contained*!) (La)TeX should best
use the tipa.sty package. See our web pages for pointers to the
relevant web sites (coming soon).

Only one submission per person and one joint submission will be
considered. Abstracts should be written in English or Polish.

Please note: do NOT send abstracts on diskettes. We will accept
*e-mail* submissions *exclusively*.


IMPORTANT: In the plain text part of your email, please supply the
following information:

 - name, title,
 - title of the paper,
 - affiliation,
 - email address,
 - snail mail address.



ADDRESSES:
- -------

PLEASE NOTE: ONLY *E-MAIL* SUBMISSIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED

Send your abstracts to:

 GLiP-2 Organizing Committee <glipvenus.ci.uw.edu.pl>

 Please be so kind as to use zip, gzip, bzip2 or some other
 compression utility to COMPRESS the attachment.
